Description
Private security entrepreneur Jeb McCormick is in over his head with his latest client. Not only is the painfully shy woman he’s meant to be protecting a total knock-out, she’s also his former Army buddy’s sister. Helping her find the reason why anyone would ransack her house is demanding enough, but keeping his hands off her is proving to be the real challenge.
Carolina Walker wants a quiet life, thank you very much. She left intrigue and deception behind in Washington D.C., never expecting it to follow her home to Bowling Green, Kentucky. When events happen that can’t be explained away, help arrives in the form of the very attractive and muscular Jebediah McCormick. But as the tension escalates between Jeb and Carolina, so does the danger facing them.
My Review
While, this book is the second one in this series, it can be read as a stand alone novel. Right from the beginning, I did gain a connection with Jeb and Carolina. I like that Carolina pretended to be tough when she first met Jeb. It was sweet but funny at the same time. Although, after a while of this, I grew tried of it. Yes, I understand that what Carolina where through with a home invasion while she was at home is traumatic and the lack of Carolina's interaction with people played a part in how she acted but I did not want these things to hold her down.
Jeb is the type of guy I would want if I needed rescuing. He is tough but gentle at the same time. Again, while I might not have fully enjoyed this book as much as I wanted to the chemistry between Jeb and Carolina was steamy. This was an quick, good read.
